My hater coworker weaponized cookies đȘđ
I work as a server in a restaurant, and let me tell you, the drama is real.
Brendaâyes, weâll just call her Brenda for the sake of simplicityâhas been a dedicated hater since day one. Sheâs got a serious hatred for me thatâs almost like a twisted love affair. From the moment she started at our joint, sheâs been pulling petty stunts: calling me by my official name while everyone else uses my nickname, and doing the same to herself. Classic âshorten your own name to make yourself look coolerâ move.
When the whole crew is hanging out in the back, she makes sure to say goodbye to everyone except me. She watches me like the FBI, tracking every move. Iâve gotten used to the constant microâaggressions, but nothing prepared me for the COOKIE INCIDENT.
One day, Brenda (aka âCookie Monsterâ) shows up with an entire stash of cookies. She starts running around, forcing them onto everyone with the intensity of a foodâdelivery drone.
âTRY 1, DID U TRY 1?!! EAT IT!!â she yells, and everyone chews like theyâre terrified of death. Meanwhile, she offers them to everyone except me. Then she goes fullâon bossy:
âDID EVERYONE GET A COOKIE??!! GIRLLL, YOU KNOW I DIDNâT. THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT.â
The passiveâaggressive cookie distribution sent me to the brink of a nervous breakdown. Iâm not saying it was the end of the world, but it was definitely the end of my patience.
Anyway, shout out to Cookie Monster Brenda đŠžââïž
âHey Brenda, I had some of Staceyâs cookie. It tastes like shit. LikeâŠliteral shit. Are you trying to poison people?â
I heard Brenda goes to parks just to push kids over. F Brenda.
Maybe B is secretly in love with you and this is how she relates to you? It is kinda childish, in saying that she may be a narcissist and if you know a narcissist they are a child trapped in an adult body due to no other than a trauma when they were a child. So stay away from B and donât let her minimise you itâs the Narc game they play.
B is jealous of me bc I'm a better server than her in all of the aspects. She's always been threatened by me and is always watching me even if I'm just drinking water or something. After the argument she went up to the cooks so of course they're gonna ask her if everything is ok. She starts bragging about how everyone âcame to her aideâ and no one came to me like pls Brenda you went to them trying to paint me as a villain when in reality you're just hating on me and wonât admit that my presence really grinds your gears.
What does she shorten Brenda to? Just Duh?
TL;DRâ
Brenda the hater + cookie distribution = workplace drama on a whole new level. The only thing better than her passiveâaggressive tactics? The fact that she actually doesnât give cookies to the one she hatesâbecause, apparently, thatâs how she âwins.â đȘđ«đ
